I'm looking for a decent, but not top of the line chrome valve cover for my 225. Any suggestions? |

good chrome valve covers are hard to come by. if you must have chrome your best bet would be to find a factory cover in good shape and have it dipped. the covers you see on ebay are no good very poor quality. also a nicely painted valve cover and air cleaner looks just as good if not better than chrome. and if your removing your valve cover to do a valve lash you might as well paint it up. |

Or you can buy the cheap Chinese one off eBay for$30. I have been running mine a couple of years now.... Click on the link below my name. Then click on one of the pictures. It will enlarge and still run in slide show mode. |

Another option is to get an Offenhauser valve cover. I'm not sure how much they go for now, but I would guess a little over a hundred bucks. |

Or you could just polish a factory stamped steel one. |

If you can wait a few weeks I'll give you an ebay special. You just cover shipping. I have 2 weeks left here in hot sunny Kuwait. I need to sand the Eastwood engine paint off my Offy cover and repaint it the correct Chrysler blue when I get back. The Eastwood paint came out looking like they had mixed Chrysler blue and turqoius. They refunded my money but I'm out all the masking/sanding time. Let me know if you want it. |
